Some question about Wi-Fi printer.

[Winterlight]

Can I connect printer to hidden Wi-Fi network  that support coonection only with WPS ? If I connect with WPS and after hide network and turn off WPS do it connect automatically next time too this hidden network or lose connection ? Do I need turn on network discovery at PC to print with this Wi-Fi printer wireless ?

So Turn off SSID broadcast.  Could have also included manipulating power output so the wifi doesn’t successfully transmit past a certain point or a few other things.  It’s not really hiding per se, it’s just not announcing itself.  It’s also something of a luggage lock.  It only works on really casual attackers.  WPS is odd and doesn’t work with wep.  It should be disabled after setting up the device.
